*Luminosity Masks*
_are they a new magic superpower for your images?_
Seems everyone is talking about them, "Luminosity masks are the new black!" but what are they really, how do you use them, and most importantly....
*WHY?*
They have been around for a long time but there has been a huge surge in interest in using them to enhance your images. Trouble is, most people throw the word around like it's the editing equivalent of a
miracle pill. I want to explore exactly what they are, how to create them and most importantly of all, why you would need to on your own work.

*There is POWER in that Channels Panel*
About @100738770034987639606
Sometimes I feel like Photoshop ate my life! A prerelease copy of Photoshop 1.0 blew my mind in my mid-twenties and pulled me off the road as a hard-working, traveling musician - taking odd creative jobs cleaning up photos, designing CD and book jackets, and learning how to use the rest of the computer to help support my imaging habit. A few years later I found myself working with guru Kai Krause helping to build the Kai’s Power Tools plug-ins and imaging apps, managing his website, and editing his popular series of Photoshop channel and selection ‘power tips'. And a few years after that I ended up landing at Adobe as a product manager, working alongside Photoshop day in and day out in my role as the PM for Dreamweaver - finally landing at the mothership myself.
About *The Channels Panel*
The Channels panel is one of my personal go-to panels in PS - but one that’s been misunderstood in many ways over the years - even though much of the old magic we could conjure up with it back in the PS 3.0 era can now be achieved nondestructively with layer effects, there’s still a ton of power to be had in the Channels panel for creating and working with Photoshop selections and masks of all sorts.

When we asked @111772222071720240926 what he wanted to share with all of you he jumped out of his chair and said,
"Super excited about the show. My topic is going to be, "Capturing those magic moments". I am going to show the process of how I seek to capture and then eventually select the moments that mean the most. In order to do this, we'll dig into a few unedited folders of images in Lightroom to give a behind the scenes look at the photos that were captured. Here we'll look at how using Collections in incredibly important for whittling down to the keepers. We'll look at a few different examples: iPhone photos, commercial shoot and a personal project. Finally, I'll highlight a few steps in Lightroom to make some improvements. "
O.K. maybe he didn't "jump" out of his chair, but he is excited to share his knowledge with you!

On the show +Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn will share how she got started in astrophotography, explain her fabulous setup and show a few of her favourite deep sky images, (you don't want to miss this!). Afterwards, Kerry-Ann get into an example of her workflow for processing a deep sky astro image from pre processing (image stacking) to final post processing in Photoshop...... I have got to see this.
"After getting my first telescope at the age of 11 and then my first film camera as a teenager I was hooked on the concept of taking pictures of deep space. Ever since then I have strived to improve my skills in astrophotography and in the process have produced images that have won awards, been featured in calendars, magazines, books and online publications such as Sky News POW and NASA APOD. While enjoying this hobby, I have a full time career as a meteorologist and I love life with my husband and two girls".

Some people don’t believe my images are real, and that’s when I know I’ve created something worth talking about. Of course, some people simply think I’m crazy watching me take pictures of an old mitten in a snow storm".

*How to use Multimedia for Marketing*
Read the Event Summary here - http://jtw.bz/videoRb
You have your business strategy, you've defined your product, now it's time for marketing.
For most start-ups, marketing is both confusing and intimidating. And if it is not done right, it's not effective. So what are your options for effective marketing?
You could hire a professional but for most small businesses it's not in the budget. So you need to learn on your own. That's why I have invited +Ronnie Bincer to the show. He's a highly respected expert on multimedia marketing; Just one option that might work for your business.
This week Ronnie will give us several practical strategies to design and execute your first marketing campaign using multimedia.
He will help us understand:
⇒ Which business models can benefit the most from multimedia
⇒ How to get started and how to reasonably define some immediate and long term goals
⇒ Which tools are his favorites for low cost DIY multimedia production for beginners
Most importantly he will debunk the myth, _*"It's easy, anyone can do it!"*_ It is true anyone can do it, but is it really that easy?
We will be taking your questions on this event, start asking on the event comments.
*Be sure to subscribe to YouTube* http://bit.ly/u2beWS
We will also be chatting on Twitter using the hashtag #OnTrackTips
and Facebook App http://goo.gl/ahR3oT

Your Hosts +Jan Kabili and +Ron Clifford
Your Panelists will be +Dave Bell Bell and +Erika Thornes who always make our time engaging and fun.

You are invited to a photowalk in the great outdoors! A day for you to spoil your senses; filled with fresh air, birds chants, luscious fall colours and nature sightings, to your heart's contempt! ~♥
The starting location is situated about 45 minutes from either Brampton, Oshawa or downtown Toronto. Some of you might want to carpool down to Whitchurch-Stoufville, and from there, we will work our way down the country roads, back to Oshawa and the beach.
Here is the schedule I have put together so far, but changes might happen as I go verify some of the locations beforehand:
9am - Eldred King Woodlands, Whitchurch-Stoufville
Arrival, gathering and preparation time in the parking lot. We will see how the weather is as fall gets closer, but light clothing should work just fine for the hike, as the area is quite protected from the wind. Bring anything you might need, like water bottles, bug spray (not a lot of them at all in the summer, so I would not worry too much) and bear whistles... Just kidding! :P
10am to 12h00pm - Eldred King Woodlands, Whitchurch-Stoufville
Start time! Hike through the old woods, falls colours, pine grove and a stop by the lake. We can spend 2 hours here easily, as there is about 15 km of paths to visit, and lots of nature details to see (moss and shrooms, yes please)!
12h15pm to 1pm - Township of Uxbridge
About 10 to 15 minutes away from the woodlands. Lunch break.
1pm to 3pm - Township of Uxbridge
A walk through the lovely New England style village. From what I hear, Uxbridge is the trail capital of Canada (who knew!), and within its network, you can observe countless historical sites. I will need to dig in deeper to find exactly what it is we could see there, but I definitely will keep it on the list for now.
3h30pm to 4h30pm - Purple Woods Conservation Area, Oshawa
Continuing down towards Lake Ontario, maybe 20 minutes from Uxbridge. One of the only maple tree farms in the vicinity of Toronto, in Oshawa. It is not very big of a place, like one or two kilometres to go around the site, but a definite must-see if you want to observe fall colours.
5pm till sunset - Lakeview Park, Conservation Marsh, Oshawa
A sunset on the beaches of Lake Ontario! I haven't been to the conservation area yet, but I am thinking it could be a great combination of marsh and beaches, and while the sun doesn't set at the horizon per say (not behind the lake, that is), we usually get wonderful colours nonetheless.
If on a grey day, nature and birds will still be there anyway! :D
It is about 50 minutes in between the first and last stop, so it's no too crazy of a drive, and really, beside gas, no expenses but taking in the beautiful nature scenery! Feel free to participate to whichever leg of the day interests you; no obligations, just fun!!
Feel free to share any comments or suggestions.
Invite friends to come along; the more, the merrier! ~♥

See you tonight. Don't forget to share this event.

We had a great show with special guest @110924410828841148491 , along with co-host @115571998474046088312 (@108215644829092784557 was away this week) producer @105845861210914905032 & panelist @101437802758827481019 where Chris showed his techniques for combining photography with printing on unusually textured papers to create amazing unique story-filled works of art.
Chris kindly provided the following links for materials and vendors he discussed in the show as well as additional tips for how he uses the special papers with his printers:
Some of my favorite paper sources include:
Hiromi Paper
http://store.hiromipaper.com
Paper Mojo
http://www.papermojo.com
Phoenix Art Supply
http://www.phoenixartsupply.com
Inkjet receptive coating (the stuff to brush onto the papers above to make them take a better print) is made by a few people, including:
DASS Universal Precoat
http://www.digitalartstudioseminars.com/store/product15.html
Golden Digital Ground
http://www.goldenpaints.com/mixmoremedia/digiground.php
(By the way, I do create custom printer profiles for the inkjet receptive coatings to get better prints. The HP Z3100 has profiling hardware built in; for the Epsons, I use the X-Rite ColorMunki.)
I use Rives BFK as my "ground" or "support" to glue my collages to. For my glue, I currently use a handheld Daige Roll-a-taq system:
http://daige.com/ez-glide-liquid-laminators-from-daige-products-2/
To glue my finished photo + collage onto a wood panel, I use Promacto A-1023, which is hard to find; I used the bookbinding supplier Talas:
http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=15&ProductID=17904
We did not get to discuss sealing or "varnishing" the print with a UV protectant top coat. I do this in two stages. After the print is made and has had a chance to gas out, I coat it with Krylon UV-Resistant Clear (gloss). After it is mounted to the panel, the finished work gets a final coat of Krylon UV Archival Varnish (semi-gloss or satin).
I have written an article on mounting works on paper to panels; it can be found on Facebook (but should be available to all):
http://www.facebook.com/notes/chris-meyer-hybrid-artist/mounting-works-on-paper-onto-wooden-panels/146173645573435
(I will be updating that article soon with things I have learned about the Krylon products.)

TSBW Variety Show #52: Children & Slavery Today, Tech, and Live Music from Anacron ! (On Air Hangout)

Do we have a treat for you! +Jan Kabili and +Ron Clifford along with our regular panelist and co host, +Dave Bell will be joining or featured guest, +Eric Renno the founder of "TipSquirrel.com" one of the best resources on the net for all things Photoshop. and it's FREE!
As a lover of all things Photoshop Eric started a blog in February 2010 with links to some of the best Photoshop tutorials on the net.
Within the first year, TipSquirrel.com had become a tutorial site of its own, producing original content and gaining an ever increasing readership. The site is proud to be 100% free to view and this is thanks to the generosity of the collective writing staff known as 'The Photoshop Nuts'.
Known only as "TipSquirrel" for the first two years Eric went 'public' when he was a finalist in The Next Photoshop Evangelist' competition. He now teaches, trains and writes as himself.
Looking forward to to hearing Eric talk about the little things that make the biggest difference and he will demonstrate this in Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop CS6.Eric will take a look at some quick adjustments, actions and filters that take a little time but make a *big impact*

_"The Meydan Bridge is a VIP entrance to the Meydan Racecourse, a mega structure in Dubai that is able to accommodate over 60,000 spectators in a 1 mile long grandstand. It was a strange feeling actually – to be standing on this opulent mega structure in the middle of the desert, miles away from the city, and with nobody around. Half the lights were dead too. I guess after Tom Cruise was finished driving over it in Mission Impossible 3, they really didn’t have a need to maintain it anymore. :)"_

*WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE? ❤*
_Come for a song and a virtual kiss and let's share the love!_
My relationship with you G+niuses was literally love at first sight. That first Hangout filled up with your gorgeous faces and my heart's been yours since.
On Thursday, Feb 14th let's get romantic and revisit the scene where it all started... I'll bring the love songs (and rockin' anti -love- songs too), the roses and the chocolates... You just bring _you._
If you've got a hot date you can show off your candle-lit night and treat your sweet to a live love song. If you're flying solo, I'm your wing-girl. Love is in the air! Hangout On Air that is ;)
*You are loved.* ❤ Share this invite with someone(s) you love!!
XO, Daria
_Ps. Find your global time zone start times here:_ http://bit.ly/V7kacp
_Pps. I think we should try a "kiss around the world"!_

Hi everyone how are you doing?
It is almost time for Valentine's day. The +Thumble team and I (+CamMi Pham ) think it would be fun to have another photo mission.
Theme: Something pink
RULES:
1. Only post photos that you took with a phone/tablet/ipod.
2. Let us know which phone, and app you used to edit the photo.
3. If you share in public stream, please tag #ThumblesMission
Have fun
Note: By entering this event, you agree to give Thumble the right to reshare and feature your photo. The best photos will be featured in our The best of mobile photography album.

*There's gonna be a showdown*
Here it is! The link to the 2 photos for you to try your hand at post processing
Ron's Lake scene http://db.tt/jIdFb0S2
Jan's book scene http://db.tt/1TfxpP6b
The Rules.
- Download one or both images
- Edit them as creatively or modestly as you want
- upload one image to the Upload Pictures right here on the top of this event
- A couple of days before the next show we will announce the winner/s on the *Photoshop and Lightroom Users* Community and on our streams For this week the prize is the love and accolades of being selected. If we get good engagement we will surely have some prizes in the future.
O.K not a showdown, more like a challenge. This week +Jan Kabili and Myself +Ron Clifford will be introducing a new segment we are starting. It will be called something like *"Now Process This"* and it will involve you! That's right, we want to have you involved by offering a challenge each show to download and process an image we provide during that show. You will have until the next show (2 weeks) to process it however you see fit (in good taste) and upload it to our event. The winner of each week will be featured in a post on our "Photoshop and Lightroom users" Community page as well as announced on the event thread and in our streams. If this is half as awesome as I know it will be, then we hope to be wrangling up some prizes to be awarded as well.
We are going to be using a new feature as well so viewers can have the option to see a high resolution live view of our desktops while we share. I have used it now and it works really well!
To get the whole scoop, you will need to tune in on Tuesday (Tomorrow) and find out how you can be involved!
The show will be Broadcast right from this event and on my stream +Ron Clifford
The Chat will be here http://blyve.com/event/8c041051753efe25440c0000
+Dave Bell and +Taylor Beckley will be joining us to -heckle- cheer us on and bring your questions to us through the live chat.

Come join us as we take a trip through Niagara Falls, Ontario. Please read after the Bold for dress and gear (nothing major just don't want anyone missing out)
We are going to meet up at about 11am
*If everyone is ok with paying for parking then we can meet closer to the Skylon tower* ( http://goo.gl/maps/K5Skw ) (It's about $5-$10 for the day)
*If you want Free parking then we will meet at the Niagara Falls City Museum on Ferry St.* These are driving directions to the parking lot from the 420 at the Stanley Exit. ( http://goo.gl/maps/LD94S )
I'm not driving so it makes no never mind to me.
Originally we were planning on doing Journey Behind the Falls and we will play Journey as a maybe. If the platform is open that it's a great deal and makes for amazing photos, if it's not.. then you have a foot long stone port hole to shoot through. (A blog with winter pictures http://goo.gl/b6Isq) We can make a decision when we get to Table Rock.
If we choose to pass we can head up the Skylon which is open till 9pm, and we can decided if we want to do so near sunset, during the day, or after dark. (or we can do both as the cost for both is under $30)
I've been careful not to over plan, and with a small group we should be ok with a more fluid structure, though I figure we will be at the Fallsview Casino area for Lunch, and at Clifton Hill for Dinner. We will head down Main St, to the Fallsview Casino area, head down to table rock, and from there either go out towards Duffrin Islands, or towards the Clifton Hill area.
After Dinner we will have the last weekend of the Festival of lights, the lit up Falls, and of course the Carnival like lights of Clifton Hill to end the evening off.
If there is a strong wind, or there wet weather we will do our best to not turn everyone into icicles.
*Gear and Dress*
Please dress warm and in layers with something water resistant, the mist can chill you very quickly if the wind shifts and you are near the falls.
Temperatures can change through out the day, so being able to strip off a layer if needed or toss one on is a good things. Though it's usually wind and temperature is Mild this time of year. Even I'll have gloves.
If you have a camera or lens that isn't weather sealed, you may consider getting rain gear of some sort for it. If you want to take it out while outside at Table Rock.
Certianly bring something to clean you lens, if the wind shifts you can get mist putting water droplets on your lens as far away as the top of Clifton Hill.
Tripods can be big and bulk and seen as rude by some, please bring them, but you may consider a Monopod. If we do Journey, Tripods can not be used, monopods are ok.
Beyond that, dress for fun.
*Cost*
If we do any attractions (like Skylon or Journey or both) expect to pay $30 total not including Meals. Meals should be fairly reasonable this time of year.

Join +Jan Kabili and +Ron Clifford as we once again bring you an informative, fun and interactive Show with our special Guest +Pierre-Etienne Courtejoie .

We are going to take a walk down a part of traditional Toronto, that was at one point the home of Toronto's wealthiest residences at the turn of the last century and home to some nice pieces of architecture and a few nice parks.
I'm posting this so that I can get a decent count on who will or may be coming.
We will be walking down from Sherbourne and Bloor Street (near the subway station) crossing over to Jarvis St and heading down to St Lawrence Market with a stop at the Allen Gardens Conservatory.
Below is a google map with the route.
http://goo.gl/maps/hWfSY
So please feel free to join in the walk all are welcome, Cell phone or DSLR and take a nice walk, and what should be a fairly nice day. It's a nice short route, should take about an hour to walk at a comfortable pace, and I expect we should be at St Lawrence Market no later then 1pm.

"I'm an Orlando based Photographer and educator specializing in HDR photography. My style borders on the surreal and I am drawn to elegance and highly dramatic scenes full of tension and conflict: I revel in the moments before a storm. I teach workshops regularly and am always up for a good photowalk."
Other Tidbits: I'm a canon shooter and spend most of my editing time in photoshop and lightroom. I use photomatix for HDR. I also run a non-profit that delivers Christmas gifts to orphans, children with special needs and children suffering from post-traumatic stress in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

Yes it's true, my friends. Oct. 9th (TONIGHT) will be our very last show. We've LOVED bringing LIFE Through the Lens to you for nearly a year; it's been a deeply defining time for each of us. And now it's time to move onward. But first... we've decided it's time to throw a HUGE WRAP-UP PARTY and send this show off in a blaze of *inspired glory!!* (Hey, it's us - how could we do it any differently?)

*Tomorrow night on @101457540902915376745 ... it's allll about @118357019708110162087!*
If you think you know all there is to know about this amazing company, guess again! We'll be exploring _behind_ the curtain of Oz with the awesome team of @103719067712188912978 @106711803105103787711 and @107740057098782600857. Who are these superheroes? What were their humble beginnings? What is the deeply personal motivational engine that has driven SmugMug to its current destination as the *largest photo site* in the world??
*You'll find all that out and more, as this kickass team also shares business tips* for photographers from the front lines of today's business market... as well as some cool 'how-to's" for navigating their (new and improved) website! In true *LIFE Through the Lens* fashion, you'll leave full and feeling inspired with food for thought and tips you can apply immediately after this most AWESOME show!!
Join the chat here: http://blyve.com/event/88766150e358e00ac8000000
PLUS... we'll be *giving away a free SmugMug Pro account*... and have a special announcement to make, which you WON'T WANT TO MISS.
*Please join us!* You'll be sorely missed if you can't... but you can always watch the recording tomorrow on the @101457540902915376745 stream* ;-))
@108215644829092784557 @102384669117825357195 @117681034834791918293 @107494834634231938072 @116678377243407600427 @107650451991930674897

UPDATE: it's online now: http://youtu.be/-DItFCAg4jM
*We like to call this a "PLUS ONE PARTY"*
Because people submit links to their albums and we look through the pictures and _*we plus one the pictures we like*_ in the album.
It's my way of giving quick feedback to people about which pictures really catch my attention out of their images. It's quick and yet helpful.
Last time we looked at over 120 albums
*LIVE PUBLIC HANGOUT*
Yep it'll be a live public hangout again.
Shorter and more awesome than last time.
So if you LINK us an album make sure you know they will be on video and then on youtube. We're both really nice people and with people pictures we worry about commentary for fear they're related to you or something. But we may make commentary and you gotta be alright with that as well.
The video won't be edited when it goes onto youtube.
I'm basically saying: _*The easily offended need not apply*_
*THEME = PEOPLE PICTURES*
@109486822103622036238 and myself have a separate project going on where we're spending dozens of hours researching to find great photographers and create the most awesome list of "people shooters"
https://plus.google.com/u/0/100962871525684315897/posts/UMBDiPKJqKa
So therefore we've made the theme this time to People pictures as well because that's what mood we're in.
If you already have an album like that share it. Or maybe put together another one in the next 24hrs that you'd like us to go through.
Professional work, weddings, families, kids, selfies, street candids, models etc
*JOIN IN*
This time we'll be linking the albums and having people join us as we go through the pictures... so you may be getting a lot more plus ones (eyeballs) than normal.
*FAQ*
We won't be looking at non-people pictures even if they're in the album.
We'd rather not look at crazy large albums so try to keep them under 50 (but we can be a bit lenient)
Please submit open/public albums specially since other people than myself will be wanting to view.
Make sure you're following myself (@100962871525684315897 ) and @109486822103622036238 who'll be the moderators of the video.
We're looking for someone awesome to help out on the show and provide interesting insights about the people who's work we're looking through so we can focus on the task at hand.
*SHARE*
Let your friends who photograph people know that it's a fun and easy opportunity.
*VIEW*
Hope to see you there during the live viewing saturday night at 9pm Mountain time
We'll be using this Event as the chat log for the event.

It's @112471890387110967375 's birthday! (okay, well - technically, it's September 7. But @117681034834791918293 and I couldn't wait any longer!)
Anyone familiar with Karen will attest to the fact that she is all about peoples' passions. What drives them. What's in their hearts.
What better gift to give to her, than to share with her images that we feel represent our passion/soul/heart!. Images that truly represent who we feel we are now - or the journey we are on (or traveled), in search of personal growth.
Maybe you have an image of yours that represents a style of photography that you feel a deep connection with. Maybe you have an image that marked a moment in your life that was particularly incredible for you - that touched you in a way that is significant.
We can have a lot of fun with this theme - the most important thing is that it comes from our heart. :-)
So feel free to upload images to this event, and tag them:
#SharingOurLightWithKarenHutton

Most plusones: 872

I'm so Honoured to be part of this experience and to hear experiences like this from my students and friends

it has been an amazing journey so far +Amanda Moore and I'm so glad you accepted my invitation that day over a year ago!

#photography #learning #arcanum

Happy +The Arcanum Anniversary to Me! I can't believe it's been a year already!I joined the Arcanum on the fateful day of the 9th of July back in 2014 after +Ron Clifford sent me an invite. I had signed up a few months earlier and was patiently waiting for someone too notice me amongst the hoards of people waiting in line and I got lucky!

My journey started on that day and I joined Ron's Cohort of the Brave! Here I met some amazing people who immediately welcomed me and encouraged me too make my first post. I nervously posted up my first batch of images. After taking the plunge I was calmed by the supportive feedback I got from everyone and so started my learning process. The idea within Cohorts is that you share images, receive feedback, give feedback to your peers and grow your own style and creative processes. Each Master creates a journey for apprentices too follow and grow. You have tasks to complete. things to research and processes to learn, very exciting and stimulating stuff!

Over my time with the awesome Cohort of the Brave I learnt so many things, gained an abundance of knowledge and slowly my photographic style and knowledge began to evolve. I had amazing Critique sessions with Ron and he shared with me so many tips and tricks that I added to my knowledge base and took under my creative wing. As I progressed through the levels I literally began to feel apart of the cohort family, and had such a good time sharing and learning within the Cohort of the Brave. Once I finished my final critique within the Cohort of the Brave I was added to the Level 20 Lounge where I was too patiently wait for my next invite into the brand new and exciting Sphere 2 experience.

The Level 20 lounge is a great place where I was able to continue my learning journey and add some more skills and knowledge to my creative repertoire. I also spent alot of time within the Grand Library, where there is an endless abundance of Tutorials, Video Critiques, and recorded Hangouts. There is literally hours and hours of tips and tricks and knowledge to spend hours trawling through, that is always at your reach even whilst waiting for invites for the next Sphere.

Now I am in Sphere 2 under Ron Clifford. I can clearly see a marked improvement within my photography and my post processing skills. I am loving it! Sphere 2 is a fresh experience that we are pioneering as we go. Very exciting stuff! I have already challenged my thoughts and processes so much within this Sphere, it is truly an exciting time for me. I can't imagine where I would be now if I had not decided to embark on the Arcanum experience, I strongly encourage anyone wondering if they should sign up for this experience to do so. There is so much too learn and so far too go down your creative journey that this amazing experience can help you with!

Thank you too +Trey Ratcliff +Curtis Simmons and +Peter Giordano for brainstorming this amazing experience into reality. I has changed my photography forever and I will be forever grateful too you all! I have shared some images with you of my Pre Arcanum work and my current work, tell me do you see as much of a change that I do?

Introducing Google+ Collections, a new way to group your posts by topic

Our happiest Google+ users are those who connect with others around shared interests and passions. So we set out to give people a place to express the things they love. Today, we’re announcing Google+ Collections, a new way to group your posts by topic.

Every collection is a focused set of posts on a particular topic, providing an easy way for you to organize all the things you’re into. Each collection can be shared publicly, privately, or with a custom set of people. Once you create your first collection, your profile will display a new tab where other people can find and follow your collections.

Posts in collections you follow will appear in your Home stream, with a link to easily jump right into the collection so you can get to similar content from that author. Collections give you a great way to find more of the stuff you love from the people you follow.

Collections is available on Android and the web, and iOS is coming later. For Android users, make sure to update your Google+ app to get access to Collections.

For inspiration on interesting topics, check out our Featured Collections page here: g.co/collections

Create your collections today and share what you love.﻿___If you haven't seen this exciting news, then hold on to your hats!

Another amazing and free mentorship has just been lunched by our very own co director +Alex Lapidus.

Signup here for Blurs and Unsharp Photography: Guided Play 2015

This is a special program on the art and weird science of motion blurs, intentional camera movement, long exposures, and much more, offered through the +G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers. I will be taking on a small group of people for an eight week online mentorship program which will include lessons, assignments, and informal discussions. This is going to be huge fun, and a great learning experience!

To me, blurs and unsharp photography have represented a new dimension of artistic freedom – a fresh and joyous way to play with light, color, form… and sometimes their absence. My hope is to inspire some of you to find more of that joy in your own photography, and to offer some techniques, tips and tools to help, along with plenty of practice!

My own photography has benefited enormously from mentorships and coaching offered by +Nathan Beaulne, +Robin Griggs Wood, +Darryl Van Gaal, +Sairam Sundaresan and others here on G+, and I’ve had the chance to assist with a number of additional programs and now to serve as a director of the overall Mentorship Program along with Robin and +Ron Clifford; I’m delighted to have the opportunity to offer my own favorite subject once again! To add to the fun, I've invited the people who participated in and assisted with last year's program to help out this time around, so we'll have all of that fabulous experience in the group.

We’ll be covering a range of topics, including not just how to take certain kinds of images (and sometimes why), but also tools in post-processing and phone apps. My goal is to be able to offer the program to you regardless of the tools you use to capture (or process) images – DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, point & shoot cameras, or Apple or Android smartphones (). You’ll need to be familiar with the manual operation of any camera, have at least a basic understanding of the Exposure Triangle, and have time to take at least 100-200 photos per week (because practice with your hands will be key to some techniques; just knowing how won’t be enough). You’ll also need to spend quality time in a (private) community supporting, enjoying, learning from and teaching your fellow participants!

Selections will be announced on Monday, May 11 (I’m in U.S. Pacific time: UTC - 8:00), and the first lesson will be posted on Thursday, May 14. The program will run eight weeks, through July 9.

These are the selection criteria:

• You must be taking and publicly posting your own photographs regularly here on G+ –– at least a public photo post every three days, and more is better (the program itself will be private to the group selected, except for the option of a public display album of your best work at the end).• You must be interactive here on G+, as you will be expected to participate in this program giving feedback and comments to others.• You must have the time available to participate in this workshop.

To be considered for selection, please answer the following questions, on the main post only, here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+AlexLapidus/posts/Uv4ChbSaMXa (your application will not be seen at any reshares). Please note that signups are not first-come, first-served, and comments will remain open for at least a few days, so please don’t worry if you’re not first in line.

1) Cameras (including smartphones) you expect to use in the program2) Photo editing software and apps used most3) Aspirations within photography4) Previous art studies 5) Amount of time you have available for participation

EXAMPLE ANSWERS1) Nikon D3100 and iPhone 4S2) Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Snapseed3) To sell prints of my work4) I have no previous art studies5) I do have a job and two kids, but I will make the time for this

() There is at least one topic I may be unable to address if you’re using a point&shoot camera or smartphone alone (call it half of one of the eight weeks). The ideal combination would be DSLR or mirrorless plus a phone, and if you use only a P&S it needs to be capable of full manual shooting (shutter speed, aperture and ISO).﻿___NEW G+ MENTORSHIP JUST ANNOUNCED!

Another amazing and free mentorship has just been lunched by our very own co director +Alex Lapidus.

One of our newest instructors (we call Masters) in +The Arcanum is my good friend and outstanding Photographer and Artist +Tanya Rochat!

I have a few spots left for my upcoming Photoshop Foundations 201 - Layers Masks and Selections

beginning the week of April 20th.

If you really want to begin to master selections, then this may be the ideal next step. During this 3 session program I will walk you through creating advanced selections using several different selection methods in Photoshop. This is Ideal if you have a basic understanding of basic layers and creating a layer mask. It really does focus on making selections right from the first week until the end. This is also the next program for those who have previously taken Layers Masks and Modes, Oh My.

If this looks like the next logical step then check out the link and see if looks like a great fit for you.

If you know this might be a great fit for a friend, please share it :-)

Go over to the post below and read it carefully if you want to be considered for this fantastic lighting mentorship through the +G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers

You MUST apply only on the original post linked below

#mentorship

My mentorship on Lighting with Intent is ready for sign-ups!

►►► Read the instructions before you sign up! ◄◄◄

This is a special program through the +G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers designed to help you understand light and make use of it to add emotion to your photography rather than have it constrain your creativity. You will learn and experiment with off-camera flash, light modifiers, combine flash with ambient light, and play with a host of other lighting techniques.

I will be taking on a handful of people for a nine week online mentorship program which includes lessons, assignments, and informal discussions. Everyone who participates can have fun and learn at the same time.

My passion for photography (or more precisely conceptual photography) has burgeoned over twenty years ago. Photography has always been for me a playground for art to intersect with technology; a place where I can explore new domains by pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone. Lighting is one such domain.

I will be joined by an outstanding group of passionate photographers, artists, helpers, who will be there for questions and discussions as well as dispensing a good dose of cheer up. If you are as excited to acquire new skills as I am to share them, join me for an exciting and creative ride.

This is an advanced class. In order to participate, you must have a solid understanding of your camera and exposure in manual mode. You will need a camera with a flash hot-shoe (SLR or mirrorless). By the time we start, you will also need at minimum the following lighting equipment:

- An off-camera flash on which you can manually adjust the power - A flash remote trigger (cable or wireless) - A light stand with a softbox (or alternatively an umbrella) - A reflector (or a large piece of white cardboard) - A set of gels. For example the Rosco Strobist kit - A tripod for your camera

If you are looking for specifics, here is the equipment I am using: www.ericraeber.com/Blog/Studio-lighting

PLEASE NOTE: Do not apply for this workshop if you do not meet these criteria.

Selections will begin on April 15th and the mentorship will start on April 25th

This is not first come first served. We will review the application and here are my selection criteria:

• You must be taking and posting your own photographs regularly here on G+ –– an absolute minimum of three posts per week; more increases your chances of being selected. (The class itself will be private to the group selected except for the option of a weekly post and a public display album of your best work at the end.)

• You must be interactive here at G+, as you will be expected to participate in this program giving feedback and comments to others.

• You have no previous studies in this subject, since this program is designed for those who have not had the opportunity or advantage to add this skill set to their knowledge base.

• You have the time available to participate in this workshop. You will be given about 3 different assignments each week.

• You must own or have access to the equipment above during this entire mentorship

I will use the same selection criteria that +Robin Griggs Wood uses for her "G+ Mentorship Art for Photographers Program", which you can read about here to see if you qualify:https://plus.google.com/u/0/105385385448524520257/posts/BT1Ei9qD2fi

To be considered for selection, please comment to the main post only, here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+EricRaeber/posts/CGeSiag5RRp and answer the following questions in your comment:

1) Photography skill level2) List the lighting equipment you own (or will have access to)3) Your three favorite subjects4) Aspirations within photography5) Current job or profession6) Previous art studies7) Amount of time you have available for participation

EXAMPLE ANSWERS1) Intermediate hobby photographer, shooting for 5 years2) Canon Rebel T3i, 2 x Yongnuo YN-560 flash, RF trigger, softbox, stand, gels, tripod, reflector3) Still Life, Portraits, Macro4) To get my first paid shoot for a client5) Full-time grocery store clerk6) I have no previous art studies7) I do have a job and two kids, but have most evenings free.

a parody shot in the Ghost town in Nelson Nevada by +Derek Kind with +Chrysta Rae in front of a classic old Airstream trailer

I can't tell you all the ways I had fun while at the Scavenger Hunt Meetup Last week.Well I could, but it would take too long. The connections and friendships I made were quite frankly, life changing.

This is honestly the only moment we weren't laughing and smiling and having a blast the entire time. And it took everything we had not to crack....

Not only did I get to spend time in real life with the Queen of the Hunt but who knew that we would have had such an instant connection. Add to it the fact that +Derek Kind, another remarkable Canadian took this image only makes it beyond amazing. LOVE you both!

Some of the best day/s of my life.....
